Episode 0187 - How Racism & Woke Culture Started with Occupy & Tea Party Movements
Description
It's been 12 years since the Tea Party and Occupy movements dominated the news cycle. When looking back to these movements, it's hard to demonstrate just how unsettling this was for the permanent political class. The left and the right were ALIGNED against elites and institutions and were angry about what they perceived as a rigged system. A system that enriched tens of thousands in the financial, mortgage, housing, and Wall Street-type companies when things were going well, and then bailed them out at taxpayer expense when the shit hit the fan. Nexus charting of racism in New York Times articles exploded as elites began to drive a wedge into this movement. The politicos sought to co-opt the new movement. All to keep the game going. Join me today as we take a deeper look into this history and draw connections to today's Woke and Racism culture.
